OUR PRODUCT
3. Tabletopia is a sandbox virtual table and features no AI
to enforce the rules. Users need to know the rules of
the games to play. At the same time players are free to
play however they want and introduce any home rules.
Being a sandbox, Tabletopia still provides numerous
advantages of a digital product:
• automated game setups
• custom camera controls
• shuffling and dealing of cards
• tracking player turns and game phases
• interactive zones with predefined automatic actions
• custom table surfaces, advanced sound effects,
and much more!

11. Beautifully done, but 90% do not succeed even when
based on popular board game titles.
Reasons
• App stores are oversaturated.
• Production costs 50K+ and takes 5-6 months.
• AI is hard to implement for most modern board games.
• Not enough people in one game for multiplayer.
• Users need to learn new interface for each game.
Made by programmers for programmers: clunky,
ugly, and complicated.

12. Tabletopia was created in early 2014, when
Tim Bokarev invited his friends and partners
Artem Zinoviev and Dmitry Sergeev to take part
in creating a digital platform for board games.
These co-founders already had vast experience
in the video and board games industry. Their
other projects include Promo Interactive, an
internet advertising agency, Playtox, a popular
mobile MMORPG, Igrology, a game studio, and
tesera.ru, the main Russian-speaking board
gaming portal.
By Spring 2014, Artem, Dmitry and Tim created
Tabletopia Inc. USA and started development.
The main team is located in Novosibirsk,
Russia, while the multinational crew behind
Tabletopia also includes professionals from
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, USA, UK, and Germany.
